Lore
Many fear change. Venturing into the unknown. Deviating from a path of safety and certainty into something unexpected. But life is change; a journey through doorways both physical and emotional, with every moment a passage to something new, and it is Janus, God of Portals and Transitions that governs this.
Bearing two faces, Janus is ever looking to the future and to the past, knowing both but controlling neither. He is only the in-between, found in the changing of seasons, at the birth of a child, at the entrances to the temple and the tavern. For this reason the Romans named the first month after him: January – a portal between the old year and the new.
Yet the Roman emperors also attribute a strange tradition to Janus. At each end of his temple stand massive doors. In times of peace, these doors are closed, but in times of war, flung open. As Rome rose to power, rarely were these doors shut, but almost four hundred years of peace have clothed Rome since then and the temple has grown dusty with absence. These days, however, the doors are open once more. It seems war has returned, and the greatest of changes are upon us.

Trivia
- Janus was originally meant to carry a sword/key as his weapon, but the idea was scrapped during development. You can still find a smaller version of the key hanging from his belt, and you can see the full size key in his default skin card.
- One of Janus' taunts, "You shall not pass!.. through my portals that is.", is a reference to a quote made by Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings series.
- One of Janus' lines for when he is in low health, "Curse my body, I wasn't fast enough.", is a reference to a quote made by C-3P0 in the film Star Wars: A New Hope.
- Janus' Defeat Screen animation is a reference to the American animated cartoon Scooby-Doo.
- Janus' Jandroid skin is a reference to the first-person puzzle-platform video game, Portal.
- The names of Janus' Gatekeeper and Keymaster skins are a reference to the 1984 film, Ghostbusters.
